A wonder why his deal was offically announced, yet the deal for Sammy wasn't?

There was an interview with Ameobi on the Athletic this morning, talking about his new deal and mentioned that Daws had also signed a new deal. Thought it was strange that neither had been officially announced, and now I see the article has been edited to remove the bit about Daws; wonder if he published it a bit early?

Think Marinakis is waiting for several thousand taxpayers to sign their parts of the contract before it can be made official.
We're all shareholders now

Wasn't Sammy's an extension (1+1 contract?)

Not sure I don't remember ever seeing a mention of an option, at time of signing or since. I'm sure it was a fresh deal, either way would have been nice to see via offical channel.

Couldn't agree more here, just hope his legs are up to it.
But Dawson & Watson were a big part of our early season confidence & success last year.

Problem is even as first choice Dawson isn't going to play forty games a season, probably only half that

I was referring more to making him captain
He was captain when he played last year though. And wasnt when he didnt.

I know but that's not an ideal situation is it?
You need consistency with your captain
Agreed but I'd rather have strong leadership in 50% of games than none at all

To be fair on Grabban he's only been captain for two games
Playing the next half dozen could save Sabrina

Not sure if Sabri can rely on Dawson being able to play six on the spin, unfortunately.

Id be playing Dawson now. Worrall was awful on Saturday, his distribution was frankly appalling.

We need a real leader on the pitch and Michael Dawson is a real leader.
Not only can he fist pump, he can bloody well play football.
Yates can fist pump, but can't lead through his playing ability.
Grabban can't even fist-pump.

We don't have a Tuesday game until October 20th. If Daws is fit surely he can play once a week for a month or so.
Well, he has started well..

That shouldn't be held against him, or anyone for that matter. He's not been in the best of form since the return following lockdown, but he's always made the runs whilst having questionable service. I'd be more concerned if he didn't try to get on the end of the chances he's missed. In my opinion, leading by example and not hiding are far more important qualities of captaincy than fist-pumping. Any f***ing bluffer can do that.

It's the 'questionable service' that concerns me more than the ability of Grabban. Apart from Freeman, we have done nothing to improve that creative input and I still wait for Sabri to show that he understands the importance of putting the opposition under pressure rather than just launching counter-attacks occasionally.
I'm not pretending that I know more than our manager (as others on here have mentioned repeatedly, I patently don't), but I wonder why this missing link in the team has been pretty much ignored.

We still own Silva, who given more licence could create. Bachirou also was touted as a box to box, his early no show seems to have dampened the enthusiasm in the middle somewhat.
The key to our creation has to be another footballer in there with Freeman.

For all the criticism of playing 1 up front for home games, a quick stat lookup of home games post lockdown shows that we took more shots than the opposition. The problem is we aren’t hitting the target enough.
